BOTTLE-STOPPER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 250,163, dated November 29, 1881.

Application filed February Q6, 1878.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, STEPHEN S. NEWTON, of Binghamton, in the county of Broome and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Bottle-Stoppers; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, which will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawing, and to the letters Of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification.

The object of my invention is to provide a cheap, compact, and effective construction of bottle-stopper especially adapted for bottles used for perfumery, tooth-washes, and other toilet articles from which it is desirable to discharge the liquid in drops Or ne jets.

Such devices have been usually so constructed that the caps or Stoppers proper have been made detachable from the other part. More recently, however', Vcaps or Stoppers have been permanently attached, although capable ofadjustment to allow discharge of the contents of the bottles; but the construction Or means whereby such permanent attach men t is effected have certain defects,which it is the Object of my invention to remedy. TO this end I construct my bottle-stopple as shown in the accompanying drawing, in whichh A represents the body of the bottle; B, a cork tting tightly within the neck and provided with a central Opening, in which is inserted a discharging-tube, E, preferably provided with an'external screw-thread at itslower end.

D is a ange, projecting horizontally from the central part of the discharging-tube and covering the top ofthe cork and bottle-neck.

C is a flange Or skirt, depending from ange D in such manner as to inclose the neck ofthe bottle and hide the cork, thereby adding to the appearance of the bottle.

The extreme upper end of the dischargingtube is formed into a circular head, f3, the

contracted neck j' of which is provided with a number ofports,j",opening' into the dischargetube. 4The discharge-tube is expanded immediately below the ports, as at F, and screwthreaded at this point. G is a cap or cover, provided at its upper end with aport or Opening, g, and is O f such internal conformation as to'form a valve-seat, which lits accurately the part f3 of the discharging-tube. This cap is screw-tapped internally, so as to engage with the enlarged screw-threaded part F of the discharging-tube. After the cap G is screwed upon the dischargingtube its lower end is turned inwardly, (by spinning or otherwise,) so as to form a lip,g3, adapted to engage with the lowerside Or shoulder ofthe part F as the cap is screwed upwardly, and thus prevent the cap from hein g removed from thedischarging-tube.

When preferred a washer or other packing, H, maybe employed to prevent leakage between the lower part of the cap G andthe discharging-tube. By turning the cap in one direction it is screwed down On the upper end or head,f3, ofthe discharging-tube, and thus prevents the discharge ofthe contents of the bottle, and by turning it in the other direction it is screwed up Or out and opens the dischargepassage more or less to allow the escape Of the contents ofthe bottle.

What I claim is- The improved stopper formed of the screwtapped cap Gr, having a port, g, and the inwardly-turned lip g3 at its lower end, and the tube E, having a screw-threaded enlarged part, F, forming a circular shoulder, with which said lip engages when the cap is screwed out to Open the discharge-orifice, substantially as set forth.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I affix my signature in presence Of two witnesses.

STEPHEN S. NEWTON.
